Lyrics

So, I have never been one for lyrics. If I like a song I really couldn't care less, what they are saying in a song. I just like the sound. Most songs, I don't even know most of the lyrics, I end up just mumbling most of the song. When people ask me, "How does thats song go?" I have no idea, I can hear it in my head but when I sing it, its gonna sound like this,"I like hmmm mmm doooo yeeeah!". "Mmm Bop" By Hanson, I'm a master of that song, lol. Lyrics aren't that important to me. I've heard people criticize the writing in a song, I have never had that complaint. I like, Tenacious D and Blood Hound Gang and anyone who had heard their songs know they have some of the most pointless lyrics in history, but hey they sound cool.
The only time I really start to care about lyrics are after a while of listening to one song constatly. And it not really that I care what they sing, just curious. Hence my last blog where, I quoted a song,. I have been listening to that song for a couple years and just now really learned the lyrics.

So next time you hear a song, just enjoy don't read the music. Just have fun.

Listening to Freddy Mercury

Listening to Freddy Mercury by Emery

"Every once in a while I think I'm lying.
Take it to the bank. I believe every word I say.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
Then again this is when you start your prying.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
But there's a thought it could be true.
But this just isn't how I imagined it would be.
With these random people just asking the most personal things.
And to think that somehow I could always come clean.
And you shake your head just like you know what I mean.

You're a Christian tell the sinner find repentance it's your last chance.
You believer, where's your patience?
Answer questions, put on faces.
What about God? For you and for me.

All have fallen short (To see if it's right or wrong to listen to this song.
I don't want you too. To see if you're okay with all the words I say.
It can't be this way)

Somehow, someone is more equal than others.
Depending on the words we choose to say.
A glance at her too long tonight.
But everything I am saying is right in your ears.

We are all the sisters and the brothers.
Until we find we don't believe the same, like...

Gary is getting drunk to forget Sarah.
Sarah is stealing money from her parents.
Aaron is lying straight to Jon.
About Megan and the things that went on.
Jessica is a gossip, Laura is a slut.
Derrick hits Bridget and Ben deals drugs.
Seth spends all his money gambling.
Joey stopped praying.

It is all the same thing.
We are all the same people.
With sinning hearts that make us equal.

Here is my hand, not words said desperately.
It is not our job to make anyone believe."

I'm not big on the whole, "here are some song lyrics I like" blogs but, here are some lyrics I like. Recently my family went through some troubles... (I won't go into detail) but, basically it was people thinking there wrong weren't as bad as others. The section of song, that I put in bold, is the perfect way to look at it. The bad things I have done are no worse than the bad things anyone else has done. But we don't always see it that way, we don't want to be in the wrong. But when someone else does something wrong we are the right there to tell them its wrong and they are terrible people for doing it. It isn't our job to judge people, (unless your an actual court judge).
So next time you thing some one is terrible for doing something, just remember your probably no better. We are all Equal. The only people that can honestly say they are better than us, are children. So, please, let go of things, be happy.

Have faith in your fellow man.

yeah, thats my blog... kinda weak, but I really like those lyrics. I think for my next blog I'll describe the way I look at lyrics. Until next time... have fun.

Drinking

Drinking is something I don't do and this is my confession.
So, not to long ago I told my Girlfriend and my Best friend the reason why I don't like most alcoholic drinks. I don't like them, because I don't want to like them. Everything I try I will immediately tell myself, I don't like it. Its something I have done for a very long time. I like to think of myself as a very open minded person. But, this is the one thing I stay kind of closed minded about. Its not that drinking bothers me, I couldn't care less if you get a drink while I'm around. Getting completely wasted might bother me. But go ahead and drink.
The reason I don't like to drink, is because I have known people who are drunks, I have been around people who are drunk, now when I say drunk I don't mean "heehee, I have a little buzz" I mean, "I LOVE YOU MAN!" drunk. Now, it may be funny, in fact it is funny. But thats not something I want for myself. I don't want to get drunk. I don't want to risk, becoming addicted. I don't wanna be the guy who thinks he's ok to drive and ends up wrapping his truck around a tree, or worse. I don't want to drink, and forget moments in my life. I'm only here for a little while and I don't wanna be so hammered I black out moments. I don't want my kids to have to grow up with a drunk. I don't want to make an idiot of myself. Believe me, I have seen my share of people making idiots of themselves, because they are drunk. I am a klutz I make an idiot of myself often enough as it is, I don't need to make it worse.
I don't need anything to "calm my nerves" I'm man enough to face things sober. Or heck not face them at all.
I don't know a lot about my fathers side of the family, heck I don't know to much about my father. So, maybe there is always a chance alcoholism could be in my family. And thats not a chance I'm willing to take. My future and my future family are to important to risk for some "good times".
Now, again I'm not saying that drinking is bad. Most people drink and are responsible about it. So if we go out, and you want a drink go ahead and drink away, I will happily sip on my iced tea.

So there you go, the reason you probably won't see my order a drink. You know what though, I will happily try a drink if you offer a taste. I may like it, I may not. But know you know what the odds are.
